TELEGRAM TO N. K. KRUPSKAYA.
Kazan and at place of location. Instructional Steamer of the All-Russian 
Central Executive Committee Red Star Ulyanova-Lenin
[July 2, 1919]
I forward Pozner's telegram to you.¹
I request you to telegraph information regarding health and itinerary of the trip.
Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Lenin.

¹ Content of the telegram from V. M. Pozner (Deputy Commissar of Enlightenment), 
addressed to N. K. Krupskaya: "The Temporary Executive Committee of the Union of Workers 
of Enlightenment and Socialist Culture informs you that the Second All-Russian Conference of 
Communists will open on July 25, two days before the congress scheduled for July 27. In accordance 
with the second session, the Executive Committee requests that you not refuse to deliver a report 
on the theme: 'New cadres of workers of enlightenment and work among the population.' Please 
inform us of your consent urgently."

NOTE TO G. E. ZINOVIEV.
T/8 [1919]
You've done me in! Or your Ionov has.
In the pamphlet they omitted my preface or postscript.¹ 
I sent it to You. Appoint an investigation—a strict one. Find 
that postscript without fail. And tell whoever needs to know that I will 
send nothing more to Piter on account of this.
Lenin.

¹ Lenin has in mind his pamphlet "The Successes and Difficulties of Soviet Power." The 
speech on this theme was delivered by Lenin in Petrograd on March 13, 1919. Before the publication 
of this speech as a separate pamphlet, Lenin, on April 17, 1919, wrote a "postscript" to it, which 
the Petrograd Publishing House did not print. This circumstance prompted the note from Lenin 
to Zinoviev cited above. For more detail on this fact, see Works, vol. XXIV, p. 745, note 32.
